Nigerians React After Burna Boy Says He’s ”The Best Since Fela Kuti”
Many Nigerians are upset after Burna Boy declared himself as the best since Fela.
The Grammy nominated artiste made a post saying he’s always known he’s the best since Fela but he doesn’t care about being the best anymore because Timaya once said something about how the world can go on without the best.
He wrote;
“FACT! I always knew I was and I am THE BEST. Everyone you think is the best KNOWS I’m BEST since Fela Kuti. But @timayatimaya told me something a long time ago that made me not care about being the best. “The World can do without the Best” the world will still spin regardless.”
A Twitter user then commented that the best paved way for Burna Boy.
Burna replied;
“Lol. NOBODY paved shit for me. Everybody dey find them own. I bin Out here, if you knew the way they made us look weak by begging and paying the western world to like us you will see that no table was set and I’m the one that brought you the Respect you currently enjoy.“

This whole Burna boy thing just made me understand how the people in jesus's time must have felt when he said he's the son of God when there were prophets before him.

Imagine Burna boy won Grammy.. we all won’t even be able to tweet. Because he will ask us if we get Grammys

P.S: I did not tweet this. I was held hostage to tweet this.— Dr PamPam | Omo Iya Ologi (@UnclePamilerin) February 12, 2020
my opinion, Burna said nothing wrong. He has a right to his opinion. it might not be your fact doesn’t alienate what he feels. A king can be a king in his own right. Is he exceptional? he is..is he an outstanding artiste, yes he is..we need to get out of our feelings & read more
